AMD platforms in RCH/RCD mode consume protocol errors in the RCEC's AER driver. AMD 
platforms in VH mode consume protocol errors (including root port errors) in the 
root port's AER driver. The exception is the VH mode host with CXL1.1 endpoint and 
RCH downstream errors. CXL1.1 endpoint and RCH downstream errors in a VH host are 
consumed in the RCEC.

I don't believe these patchset changes would affect this behavior. But, I will need 
to test to confirm.
